Ashton looked all around before hurriedly Leading the four new legion members inside the house, the first three managed to enter quite easily since they were just slightly taller than Ashton’s hips but the guardian on the other hand was massive, he was taller, thicker and much wider than Ashton so entering was a hell of a trouble.
After a little bit of effort, Ashton managed to get them all in and close his door shut. When he turned around, he noticed they had all taken seats in different areas of the living room.
’How do I know what and who these are?’ he wondered.
He didn’t know their names, and he didn’t even know what they could decide if they could help in the kind of care he had in mind.
Almost as if, reacting to his thoughts, more information suddenly flooded his mind, filling him in on everything he needed to know.
The first one he got information about was the one that looked like a knight.
[Plant Knight—this is the lead attack member for the current squad. Possessing a slightly thick armor plate that allows it to take quite a lot of hits, it is also equipped with a durable stick sword capable of cutting through most non-metals.
Skills—Plant charge, Enhanced Regeneration, Level 1 combat mastery, Equipable??????]
Ashton skimmed through the information about the first member and nodded slightly; with this guy, he could protect Selene better.
[Vine Stalker—a second offensive plant that focuses mainly on speed and battle control, serves as backup for the lead fighters, and is not recommended for a direct fight. Best used to restrain and hinder enemies’ movement and crowd control.
Skills—Piercing Vines, Vine trap, Vinification]
Like the skills of the first shoulder, Ashton was able to get the full gist of what each and every one of them could do except for the last ability the plant knight had, which he couldn’t get the details of. And neither of them had one particular effect he had been looking for, so he turned to his next member.
[Root Guardian—human-shaped, built from thick root and bark, Slow, heavily armored, absorbs hits.] Its body is structured in such a way that it is both hollow and stable at the same time. This form allows it to spread damage out evenly, even direct it at the ground, but it is also a good transporter.
Skills—Hardening, Root Cradle, Nourishing air, Root shield]
Because Ashton had full knowledge of his member’s ability, when he checked what Root Cradle could do, he couldn’t help but nod with a look of approval.
[Supporting Stemman—a humanoid made entirely of stems that’s mostly for general support, the most lucrative of the four members, and also the ones that have the most flexible usage and are easily teachable.
Skills—Plant Blessing, Enhanced Learning, Plant Healing]
With that, Ashton was done checking through the information of all of his four new plant members, and he was already trying to come up with ways to use them efficiently.
’These guys have all these powers, and they should be enough to take care of Selene so we won’t have any problems, but am I sure I can use them well enough?’
That was his current problem: he knew about the abilities and their uses, but can he use them?
He was about to stand back up and head to check up on Selene when he suddenly noticed that he wasn’t actually done checking through the information; there was still one last one.
[Legion Master- The Legion master is in charge of giving out orders to the squad members; they can be directly Spoken or transmitted mentally, but Mental transmission costs Willforce. Legion-master also gets a slightly downgraded version of Legion Members’ abilities
Obtained skills—dash, Lesser Vinification, Hardening, lesser Healing]
Ashton looked through and immediately tried to decide which of the skills could help him currently, so he immediately decided on Lesser Healing.
His injuries have been hampering his efficiency a lot, so he wanted to see if he could take care of it, so he immediately activated Lesser Healing.
[Willforce -1]
With that debit notification, he saw a faint green light cover him from head to toe, and immediately following that, the pain he was feeling lessened greatly, but it wasn’t enough; movement was still stiff and painful.
’It seems like my injuries are quite severe; less healing isn’t enough,’ he thought while his gaze strayed to the Supporting Stemman that was also looking at him with really intense curiosity.
"Can you use Plant Healing on me?" Ashton asked.
The Support stemman looked at him for a few seconds before nodding gently to show its acceptance. It stood up from the couch and approached Ashton and didn’t stop until it was about a single step away.
It pointed its raised hands at Ashton, and then a milky green light flowed out and covered Ashton completely.
[Willforce -5]
Under that, Ashton didn’t care about the Willforce deficit; he was entirely focused on the feeling of warmth enshrouding him, it was so warm it was especially hard for him to hold in a moan of satisfaction.
Just when he couldn’t hold it anymore, he felt the light stop and everything vanish.
’What? why?’ He was about to say it out loud, but he found all of the pain he felt just a few seconds ago was completely non-existent, which means the job was done.
In fact, he wasn’t just left without a single injury; he felt more Energized right now than he had ever been in a long, long time.
"Thank you," he said before standing on his feet and heading to the bedroom. The sight of Selene’s face suddenly made him remember that she hadn’t had breakfast. Thankfully he wasn’t too late.
"I need to prepare something for her to eat as soon as possible."
He was about to rush into the kitchen, but he hesitated; the only thing in there was potatoes, he didn’t want to feed her potatoes again.
"Wait, I have some unripe feedstuff on my farm, and I have him," Ashton suddenly said while he turned to look at the Supporting Stemman again.
